A rubber processing unit in Edayar has been found responsible for the illegal discharge of effluent into the Periyar. The preliminary investigation carried out by the State Pollution Control Board showed that the crumb rubber unit made an unauthorised discharge through a pipeline into the nearby land. This caused the discharge into the river. A long stretch of oil patch near the Pathalam regulator-cum-bridge had triggered concerns among local residents and environmentalists on Saturday. They had stated that the illegal discharge would have come from industrial units. The board had taken samples from the river to ascertain the source of contamination. Senior board officials said that action will be taken against the unit as per the report prepared by its Environment Surveillance Centre in Eloor. The analysis results of the samples will also be taken into account before deciding on the measures to be taken against the suspected unit.
